Restricting the expression of sexuality through fiction and art made by adults, for adults – including those you find personally disturbing or offputting – is conservative censorship, full stop. When that censorship disproportionately affects subgroups, that's also discrimination. For shame.

The bad news keep coming

These go into effect Oct 15th

D. Adult Content: We provide a safe space for consensual adult expression by requiring clear consent and stopping abuse.

i. We allow consensual adult sexual content, including fictional depictions, when appropriately labeled and subject to appropriate age restrictions.

ii. We do not allow sexual content involving non- consensual activity including synthetic, simulated, illustrated, or animated versions.

Very disappointed in @bsky.app for choosing to silence artists, self moderation is the way. People can block and move on if they don't like what they see.

Censorship is never the way. It's a double edged sword and it WILL be used to hurt creatives.

The solution right now is not saying “move to Mastodon, to Pillowfort, use Picarto galleries” etc, bc that won't stop this silent escalation of censorship and sexual repression on the internet. The issue is not which platform we choose, but rather raising our voices against what is happening.

Controversial opinion, but I think trans people should feel safe here on bluesky, and nazis shouldn't.

A simple line drawing with halftone shading of the titular pig-man from the movie Porco Rosso. He’s wearing a trench coat with the collar turned up and a wide brimmed fedora and sunglasses. His mouth is wide open in a sarcastic laugh. A word balloon says, ‘Maybe it will happen today’

Digital illustration done in a rough comic ink style. A possum mother trundled along with four possum babies on her back. Each possum is speaking a string of connected speech balloons reading ‘maybe it will happen today’.

this iconic advertising copywriter named Kathy Hepinstall Parks died over the weekend and I wanted to share something from her website I thought Bluesky would like

Why should I write better when a machine can do it for me?
Because actually no one can do it for you, because your voice is unique among all the people on earth. Siri never petted a horse's neck. Alexa has never been ghosted by the captain of the football team. But you have lived, your heart is beating, you have suffered, and you have something important to say. It's a human's job, to use words, and whatever job you give to a machine, that part of your brain goes dark. Maybe it's worth it when it comes to remembering phone numbers and directions, but when that part of your brain that uses words goes dark, that's a vast area that's very close to your soul. Don't let some internet platform convince you that what you have to say and create isn't worthwhile. Words are the echo of your soul. Honing that echo matters.

thank you. that is incredible. I know how much queer blood was spilled in pursuit of that and it’s a momentous thing. Maybe I need to be putting in more effort myself to find this sort of news.

the overwhelming degree of unfettered evil that the past few years has revealed in all institutions of the world has done a real number on me. I never thought any of them were paragons of morality, but I somehow had an idea there were levels they wouldn’t stoop to.

Israel is using Microsoft Azure to store recordings of every phone call made by Palestinians in the occupied territories, then using AI to analyze the contents and select targets. Microsoft is (dubiously) claiming ignorance.

Revealed: The Israeli military undertook an ambitious project to store a giant trove of Palestinians’ phone calls on Microsoft’s servers in Europe

hi there. sorry to reach out like this, but I tried to donate the rest of the amount I thought you’d need last night, did that actually go through? If not, I’ll apply for a refund from PayPal.
